Nothing too flashy but taste and style (and Wilcoxon) oozing from every note. The opening track, "Minority", has Philly Joe sounding particularly Philly Joe. Besides the fact that Philly Joe is my favorite jazz drummer, and Evans one of my favorite pianists, the two have a very obvious chemistry. That's one of the things that makes this record so great for me, personally the Evans/Philly Joe combo. Also, Evans and Philly Joe had become close friends while they worked together in Miles' group. The two were playing together on a number of different projects around the same time, and obviously knew each other as musicians quite well. On Everybody Digs Bill Evans we hear Philly Joe teaming up with Sam Jones. Granted, Paul Motian played on Evans' debut release, but they hadn't yet teamed up with Scott LaFaro to create the trio that would turn Evans into a jazz superstar. It could also have something to do with the sidemen. Maybe it's the block chord voicings, or maybe just a lot happened in the two years between New Jazz Conceptions and Everybody Digs Bill Evans, but for me this is the first time that Evans playing screams "I'm Bill freakin' Evans!" True as that may be, I feel that this is the first time Bill Evans really sounds like Bill Evans. ![]() Many critics argue that Evans hadn't quite reached his full musical potential when he recorded this album. This is Evans' second album as a leader, recorded shortly after he left Mile Davis' group, and before he returned to record Kind of Blue. Why, then, he didn't hire him more often, I'm not really sure, but at least we have Everybody Digs Bill Evans. Bill Evans expressed on more than one occasion that he considered Philly Joe to be "the ultimate jazz drummer", and his "all-time favorite…" If I had a gun to my head and was forced to pick a favorite jazz drummer it would have to be Philly Joe Jones.
